A Tribune programme that follows hard on the heels of a Radio 3 BaL one.

Will be interesting to hear how similar their views are to makropoulos . -

France Musique, apparently no longer en grève, have posted the details of Sunday's La Tribune:-Originally posted by Pulcinella View Post

Tried and tested route for me: Pavarotti....Freni....Karajan....VPO. No better soloists (brush over the Sharpless!), exquisite orchestral detail (produced by Chris Raeburn, engineered by the famous Solti Ring trio: Parry, Lock and Law).Originally posted by Roger Webb View Post
France Musique, apparently no longer en grève, have posted the details of Sunday's La Tribune:-
Butterfly is one of the few Puccini operas I haven't a DVD recording of....any ideas? No mimed films of studio recordings eg. Domingo/Freni!Comment

Just bumping this up in the hope there is someone who's not out in the sun this afternoon!
Like BaL it's probably on at an inconvenient time.Comment

Six contenders are:-
a.Scotto/Domingo/Maazel....
b.de los Angeles/di Stefano/Gavazzini.....
c.Callas/Gedda/Leinsdorf....
d.Freni/Pavarotti/Karajan.....
e.Gheoghiu/Kaufmann/Pappano....
f.Callas/Gedda/Karajan....
Those that thought this programme was prejudiced against British works, look out for Elgar 'Enigma Variations' in two weeks!
Edit. I'm sure version c. is not Callas as printed....it's probably Anna Moffo as the sleeve shows.Last edited by Roger Webb; 02-06-24, 14:34.Comment

No Barbirolli vastly superior to Maazel !
Will Monteux with Enigma ?Comment

Never mind, perhaps they'll make up for the oversight by choosing Schön Sir John's Enigma in two weeks' time!Originally posted by Barbirollians View PostComment

How did you get the list of the contenders before the programme had finished?Originally posted by Roger Webb View PostComment

Do you listen on FM in France Micky? Or online?Originally posted by MickyD View Post
If you go to the France Musique (from the Radio France site) website select 'Schedule' (with a right arrow) under the 'playing now' programme panel and then top right 'More' (may come up as 'Plus') the 'Grille de Programme' page comes up, scroll down to find 'La Tribune' at 16.00 (may show as 4pm), tap on it and the programme page comes up, scroll down to find the six contenders marked A to F. (An easier way might be to tap on my original post at #5 above and just scroll down to find A to F)
I've just checked and the display is just as it comes up at the beginning of the programme (nb. This info is not available until a couple of minutes into the programme).
Today's info was incorrect. When C started I knew that it wasn't Callas, but as it was Leinsdorf cond. it was obvious it must be Anna Moffo.Comment

Thanks, Roger. I do listen online but didn't know that the contenders were displayed on the page just after the programme has begun. But as you say, approach with caution as the details were incorrect.Comment

We're thinking of just posting each weeks Tribune on the general BaL Français thread as you may have seen already....any thoughts to add on that?Originally posted by MickyD View PostComment

Rousseau's report on Madame Butterfly just posted:-
My google translate has 'The pulp of Anna Moffo's tone does not erase her simpering'!
In future the programme pages of La Tribune will be posted on the general La Tribune: Un BaL Français thread. Look out for Schubert Piano Trio No.1.Comment
